Summary
Primary elections; voter registration by political party. Adds political party affiliation to the information that an applicant is asked to provide when registering to vote. The applicant may indicate that he is an independent. Voters registered prior to January 1, 2017, will be designated as independent unless they provide a political party affiliation in writing to the general registrar. No more than one change to a voter's party affiliation or independent status on his registration record shall be permitted within a 12-month period. Voters may change their party affiliation at any time before the registration records are closed prior to an election, except that voters who are designated as independent may change their independent designation to a political party affiliation at any point after registration records are closed prior to a primary election, including on the day of the primary. Only voters who are registered as being affiliated with the political party may participate in that party's primary.
